Stroncone, the walled village above the Terni basin

Stroncone appears as a walled village on a spur at around 450 metres, with its entrance gate, stone houses packed together and lanes climbing towards the church. Below lies the Terni basin, and behind rise the mountains separating southern Umbria from the Sabina area and Lazio.

Terni is about twenty minutes away, and many residents work in the city, in services or industry. Besides the old village, the municipality has hamlets scattered across the slopes and newer housing towards the plain, where most of the detached houses with gardens are. Anyone looking at a house in the old centre has to accept stairs, pedestrian-only access and distant parking; in return you get quiet and an open view over the valley. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

Istat, the national statistics office, recorded 4,604 residents in 2023, down 6.5% since 2011. The average age is 48.0, below the 48.9 of a very old province; over-65s make up 26.9% against 28.8%, and foreign residents 7.6%. Stroncone ranks 7 in the province of Terni by population.

The province has 4 municipalities in seismic zone 1, the highest, and 12 in zone 2. Stroncone is in zone 2, with an expected ground acceleration in the built-up area of about 0.163 g. In the stone houses of the old village, ask whether and when strengthening work was done. On the wooded limestone slopes, the report also checks the official landslide maps for the address you choose.
